First Look At The H&M X Kenzo Collection

A tough act to follow after Balmain.

On Friday, retailer H&M revealed their first look at the upcoming collection with French luxury house Kenzo. Following the crazy big success of their collection with Balmain, H&M have teamed up with Kenzo, founded by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada in 1970.

Known for fusing Asian and Japanese influence with a European asthenic, the Kenzo x H&M collection promises to be anything but boring.The collaboration comes at the right time, when the Kenzo label itself is enjoying a resurgence (particularly in Australia) with the popularity of the classic Kenzo jumper.
